Detailed SWOT Analysis of Sodexo
Strength
This section is available only in the 'Complete Report' on purchase.
Weakness
1. Minimal investments in research and development in certain sectors: With the ever changing dynamics of the market and customer requirements, Sodexo needs to enhance its investments in certain segments. With the advent of competitors, Sodexo needs to concentrate more on customer services related applications. The concept of one size fits all is no longer applicable to its customers. Each of the clients now wish to have a personalized experience in all the services that they undertake. There are certain clients with whom Sodexo loses interaction beyond the site level. Owing to the short attention span that the customers are now witnessing, Sodexo has to strive to keep up with the pace. To continue to be the market leader the firm needs to implement a wide range of service design principles to cater to the requirements of the new generation customers who mostly rely on experimentation. The customers now wish to have a seamless digital experience with interactions mostly on a daily basis. Sodexo has a strategic corporate venture fund launched in the year 2016 with an initial fund of €50m to accompany the evolution in the markets, increase their capacity for innovation and research and development, enrich their offers and support Sodexo’s long term investment strategy.
2. Decreasing supplier loyalty: A market leader like Sodexo would always promise to deliver the best of services to its customers at the best prices. But this sometimes does not prove to be a wise move for the other stakeholders involved in the entire process. Sodexo is investing in conducting research and development to foster innovation which would eventually lead to reduction in the price levels in the supply chain. With the various shifts that Sodexo is witnessing it is also essential that the suppliers are informed and aware of the changes that they are about face to face. Sodexo should take the ownership and impart the relevant information and training that the suppliers wish to have if it wishes not to lose the huge supplier loyalty that it enjoys now. Suppliers are now exposed to more lucrative offers from other competitors who are trying their level best to emerge as world leaders and attain recognition.
3. Unexplored rural markets owing to infrastructure unavailability: This has certainly been one of the major challenges for Sodexo. The segment which has been most affected is the Restaurants segment. In the rural markets the adoption of raw materials and products is very slow resulting in great difficulty to the company. Cost also plays a role in not expanding businesses to the rural areas since procurement, setting up and making the venture functional would involve a lot of investment in it. Even reaching the destination would become difficult for the people who would be involved in the process. Lack of infrastructure would also hamper the business setup in rural areas. Moreover Sodexo would need to come up with multiple initiatives that would address customer requirements from rural and urban backgrounds leading to furthering the investment factor. The use of niche technologies would not be feasible in rural areas. Tapping the rural sector still seems to be an idea which needs to be deliberated upon.

Environmental
1. Waste management and impact on environment: A company would not thrive for a long period if it does not cater to the environmental aspects. The extreme changes in weather is having a great impact on the cost of production and hampering the overall efficiency. The company now has to make more investments in the supply chain to make it more flexible. Sodexo has ample opportunities to explore the renewable sector since this is an interesting area to invest in. There has been increase in audits and surveys by environmental agencies which is also increasing the cost incurred by Sodexo. Customers are more aware now of the environmental impacts and expect Sodexo to comply with national and international standards. There is no scope of non-compliance in this field and any shortcomings would be dealt with consequences by responsible stakeholders. Sodexo should also try and incorporate recycling strategy to the numerous sectors that it has to have a competitive edge and increase the brand value. According to studies, by 2025, 2216 million tons of urban waste will be produced which is almost double of what was being produced in the year 2012. The firm has inculcated an environment responsibility culture amongst its employees and all of them work towards sustainable use of resources.
2. Sourcing responsibly, reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable business practices: Sodexo has ensured that there is a culture of Environment responsibility in its employees and ensures judicious use of resources and minimal wastage. These initiatives have helped the company in receiving the highest points of its sector in RobecoSAM’s 2018 “Sustainability Yearbook”, for the 11th consecutive year. The company has deployed facilities management services which would ensure that the carbon emissions are reduced from the site that they manage. Sodexo has a Loving Food and the planet policy where they ensure healthy and sustainable meals. The firm has a long term partnership with the World Wildlife Fund to come up with meals and dishes that are better for consumers and the wildlife. Plant based ingredients are helping Sodexo to meet its wellness commitment as well as helping it to keep the carbon emissions in check by reducing the greenhouse effect. Sodexo has aimed at a challenging 34% reduction in carbon emissions by the year 2025. Out of all the client sites, 65.6% of them adhere to the Sodexo’s 10 Golden Rules of Nutrition, Health and Wellness. The firm’s “Evolution” kitchen initiative promises and delivers multiple results. Owing to this program there will be 30% reduction in electricity and water consumption, 20% reduction in cooking time and 90% reduction in injuries. The firm also targets to reduce its global wastage by 50% by the year 2050 and 38.8% of its clients sites have shown an inclination to participate in WasteLess Week and similar campaigns, thus delivering its promise for a sustainable growth.
